1. SAFETY RULES
1. Before you begin installing the fan,
shut the power off at the circuit
breaker or the fuse box.
2.Be cautions! Read all instructions
and safety information before
installing your new fan. Review
accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical
connections comply with local codes,
ordinances, or National Electrical
Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or
consult a do-it-yourself wiring
handbook if you are unfamiliar with
installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you
choose allows the fan blades to rotate
without any obstructions. Allow a
minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and the floor to the lowest edge
of the blades 18 inches from the tip of
the blade to the wall.
5.If you are mounting the fan to a
ceiling outlet box, use U.L. Listed
metal octagonal outlet box marked
"Acceptable for fan support". Secure
the box directly to the building
structure. The outlet box and its
support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50
lbs.) Do not use a plastic outlet box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of
personal injury use only the screws
provided with the outlet box.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a
joist, make sure it is able to support
the moving weight of the fan (at least
50 lbs.).
8. After you install the fan, make sure
that all mountings are secured to
prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan
blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for it to
stop completely before reversing the
fan direction.
NOTE: The important safeguards
and instructions appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that
common sense, caution and care are
factors which can not be built into
this product. These factors must be
supplied by the person(s) installing,
caring for and operating the unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 6.
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned off at
the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: (Fig. 14) This remote control
unit is equipped with 16 code
combinations to prevent possible
interference from or to other remote
units. The frequency switches on your
receiver and wall transmitter have been
pre-set from the factory. Please recheck
to make sure the switches from both
units are set to the same positions. Any
combination of settings will operate the
fan as long as the wall transmitter and
receiver are set to the same switch
settings.
Step 1. (Fig.15) Insert the receiver unit
into the hanger bracket with the flat
side of the receiver facing the ceiling.
Step 2. (Fig. 16 & 17) Motor to receiver
electrical connections; Connect the black
wire from the fan to the black wire
marked "To motor L" from the receiver.
Connect the white wire from the fan to
the white wire marked "To motor N"
from the receiver. Connect the blue wire
from the fan to the blue wire marked
"For bottom light" from the receiver.
Connect the orange wire from the fan to
the orange wire marked "For Upper-
light" from the receiver.
Step 3.(Fig. 16 & 17) Receiver to house
supply wires electrical connections;
Connect the black (Hot) wire from the
outlet box to the black wire marked "AC
in L" from the receiver. Connect the
white (neutral) wire from the outlet box
to the white wire marked "AC in N"
from the receiver. Secure all wire
connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided.
Step 4. (Fig. 16 & 17) If your outlet box has
a ground wire (green or bare copper) connect
the fan ground wire from hanger ball and
hanger bracket to it; otherwise connect the
fan ground wire from the hanger ball and
hanger bracket together.
Step 5. After the splices are made, secure
connectors with electrical tape. Spread the
wires apart so that the green and white wires
are on one side of the outlet box and the
black, orange and blue wires are on the other.
Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections. Turn wire connectors upward
and push the wiring into the outlet box.

Step 2. Make the electrical connections as shown in (Fig. 17). If your outlet box
has a ground wire (green or bare copper) connect the wall transmitter's ground
wire to it; otherwise connect the wall transmitter's ground wire directly to one of
the screws from the outlet box.
Step 3. (Fig. 18). Carefully tuck the wire connectors inside the junction box.
Secure the wall transmitter with the two screws provided. Attach the decorator
faceplate over the wall transmitter and secure with the two screws provided.

INSTALLING THE LIGHT BULB
& GLASS SHADE 10.
WARNING: Shut of the power supply
before removing or replacing lamp. In
handling of halogen bulb, care should be
taken not to touch it with your bare
hands. Oil residue will shorten the life of
the halogen bulb. If you accidentally
come into contact, wipe thoroughly
with a clean, lint-free, cotton cloth.
Allow the bulb to cool off for 10
minutes before changing the bulb. Use
light bulb in accordance with the fan's
specification. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM WATTAGE RATING.
Step 1. Install 2x50W halogen bulb
by screwing it clockwise into bulb
socket (Fig. 21).
Step 2. Raise the glass shade up
against the light plate and secure it to
the fan with the light kit stem. (Fig.

11.OPERATING THE WALL TRANSMITTER
Restore power to ceiling fan and test for
proper operation.
A. HI, MED, and LOW buttons:
These three buttons are used to set
the fan speed as follows:
HI= high speed
Med= medium speed
Low= low speed
B. FAN OFF button:
This button turns the fan off.
C. D/L button:
This button controls the down light.
D. U/L button:
This button controls the up light.
Press and release the button to turn the
light ON or OFF. Press and hold the
button to set the desired brightness. The
light key has an auto-resume, it will stay
at the same brightness as the last time it
was turned off.
Speed settings for warm or cool
weather depend on factors such as the
room size. Ceiling height, number of
fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on the
top of motor assembly. Slide the
switch to the Left for warm weather
operation. Slide the switch to the Right
for cool weather operation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before
changing the setting of the slide switch.

SUMMER OPERATION
WINTER OPERATION
Warm weather - (Forward)
A downward airflow creates a cooling
effect as shown in Fig. 22. This allows
you to set your air conditioner on a
warmer setting without affecting your
comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse)
An upward airflow moves warm air
off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 23.
This allows you to set your heating unit
on a cooler setting without affecting
your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN 12.
Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural
movement, some connections may
become loose. Check the support
connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure
they are secure. (It is not necessary to
remove fan from ceiling.).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the
years. Do not use water when cleaning.
This could damage the motor, or the
wood, or possibly cause an electrical
shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free
cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The
plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
4. You can apply a light oat of furniture
polish to the wood for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover
small scratches with a light application
of shoe polish.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The
motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
6. All glass should be cleaned using
lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth
or sponge.
DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS IN
HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT
GLASS INTO AN AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER
WARNING
Make sure the power is off at the
electrical panel box Before you
attempt any repairs. Refer to the
section, "Making Electrical
Connections".

13. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Fan will not start 1. Check fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the
transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.
Fan sounds noisy. 1. Allow a 24-hour "break-in" period. Most noises
associated with a new fan will go away during this time.
2. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
3. Make sure that the screws that attach the fan bade
bracket to the motor hub are tight.
4. Make sure your outlet box is secured and rubber pads
were used between the hanger bracket and outlet box.
Fan Wobble 1. Check that all blade and blade holder screws are
secured.
2. Use the enclosed blade balancing kit if blade
wobble is excessive. (See instructions included with
the balancing kit.)
NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because
natural wood blades vary in density, the fan may wobble
even though blades are weight matched.
